January 1, 2026
Last updated: October 18, 2026
Quick answer: To check your RPay balance in 2026, use the official ARIE mobile app, the Magnati prepaid card portal (ppc.magnati.com/ppc-inquiry), any ATM, the helpline 600 540 004, or visit an Al Rostamani Exchange branch. RPay is a WPS payroll card issued by Al Rostamani International Exchange — it is not a FAB card, and there is no official SMS balance-check service.

What Is RPay? (Al Rostamani Salary Card Explained)
RPay is the payroll card issued by Al Rostamani International Exchange (ARIE) under the UAE’s Wages Protection System (WPS). If your employer pays salaries through Al Rostamani Exchange, your monthly salary is credited directly to this card, and you can withdraw cash, shop, and pay bills with it across the UAE.
A common confusion: RPay is not a FAB (First Abu Dhabi Bank) product. It is issued by Al Rostamani Exchange. Knowing your actual card issuer matters because each issuer has its own app, portal, and helpline — using the wrong one wastes your time.
According to Al Rostamani Exchange, the RPay card comes with benefits such as insurance cover of up to AED 25,000 and zero issuance and maintenance fees.
RPay vs Ratibi: Which Card Do You Have?
Many salary-card holders mix up RPay and Ratibi. Check the branding on your card — the issuer decides which app and helpline you should use:
| Feature | RPay | Ratibi |
|---|---|---|
| Issuer | Al Rostamani International Exchange | First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) |
| Online portal | ppc.magnati.com/ppc-inquiry | FAB prepaid / Ratibi portal |
| Mobile app | ARIE app | FAB Mobile / Payit wallet |
| Helpline | 600 540 004 | 600 522298 |
| Card network | As printed on your card | As printed on your card |
If your card says Al Rostamani, follow this guide. If it says FAB Ratibi, see our Ratibi balance check guide instead.
5 Official Ways to Check Your RPay Balance
| Method | Speed | Internet needed | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| ARIE mobile app | Instant | Yes | Daily balance checks |
| Online portal | Instant | Yes | No app installed |
| ATM | Instant | No | Cash withdrawal + balance together |
| Helpline 600 540 004 | 2–5 minutes | No | No smartphone / blocked card help |
| Branch visit | 10–20 minutes | No | KYC updates, card issues |
Method 1: ARIE Mobile App (Fastest)
The ARIE app is the official Al Rostamani app and the quickest way to check your RPay salary card balance.
- Download the ARIE app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store (search “ARIE Al Rostamani”).
- Register with your mobile number and RPay card details.
- Verify with the OTP sent to your registered mobile number.
- Your dashboard shows the current balance, recent transactions, and salary credit history.
Method 2: Online Portal (No App Needed)
Check your balance from any browser via the prepaid card inquiry portal:
- Go to ppc.magnati.com/ppc-inquiry.
- Enter your RPay card number and the other requested card details.
- Complete the captcha/security verification.
- Your current balance and mini-statement appear on screen.
Method 3: ATM Balance Enquiry
- Go to any ATM that accepts your card network.
- Insert your RPay card and enter your PIN.
- Select “Balance Enquiry” from the menu.
- Your available balance displays on screen (you can also print a mini-statement).
Method 4: Helpline — 600 540 004
- Dial 600 540 004 from any UAE phone.
- Follow the IVR prompts for card balance enquiry.
- Keep your RPay card number ready for verification.
- For lost/stolen cards or blocked-card issues, choose the customer-service option to speak to an agent.
Method 5: Visit an Al Rostamani Exchange Branch
For KYC updates (e.g. expired Emirates ID blocking your card), card replacement, or disputes, visit any Al Rostamani Exchange branch with your original Emirates ID and your RPay card.
Important: There Is No Official RPay SMS Balance Check
Several old blogs claim you can check your RPay balance by sending “BAL” plus your card number to 511. This service does not exist. Al Rostamani Exchange only sends SMS alerts (transaction notifications) — it does not offer an SMS balance-enquiry service. Do not share your card number over SMS with unknown numbers claiming to offer this.
RPay Balance Not Showing After Salary Day? (Troubleshooting)
| Problem | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Balance shows zero after payday | Salary not yet processed through WPS | Wait 24 hours, then confirm with your employer’s HR |
| Card shows “blocked” | Expired Emirates ID / pending KYC | Update your Emirates ID at an Al Rostamani branch |
| Portal login fails | Wrong card details or expired session | Re-enter the full 16-digit card number; retry in a fresh browser tab |
| No OTP received in app | Unregistered or changed mobile number | Update your mobile number at a branch, then re-register |
| ATM says “unable to process” | Network issue or daily limit reached | Try another ATM; call 600 540 004 if it persists |
RPay Card Fees
| Fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| Card issuance | Free |
| Monthly maintenance | Free |
| Balance enquiry (app/portal/helpline) | Free |
| ATM withdrawal (UAE) | Per ARIE schedule — confirm at issuance |
